Washington, D.C. suburb with green areas and established neighborhoods

Redland, typically regarded as part of Rockville or Derwood, is a laid-back Maryland suburb with quiet streets and bucolic woodlands. Less than 20 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., Redland has access to the city, sprawling regional parks and daily amenities that make it a cozy area to call home. "There can be a lot of traffic and a lot of people, but they've preserved a lot of the green areas. I love all the green," says Amy Freese, secretary at Redland Baptist Church. "People move because of their jobs or the military, so it's hard to find people that are rooted here, but I do think people make an effort to get to know each other."

Split-levels, bi-levels and townhouses

Houses sit along residential streets and cul-de-sacs with mature shade trees and room to spread out, with some homes on lots up to 2 acres in size.

Colonial houses, some with columns, are in the same price range.

Rock Creek Regional Park and Lake Needwood

The 1,800-acre Rock Creek Regional Park is the area's premier outdoor area. At the center of the park, Lake Needwood reflects the surrounding forest in its still, deep blue water. "In the summer, there are paddle boats you can rent, and people take canoes and row boats out and fish," Freese says. Locals also hike around the water along the park's 13-mile trail system. In addition to the lake and trails, Rock Creek Park has several playgrounds, Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park, and the Meadowside Nature Center. The nature center hosts summer camps, educational seminars and supports local preservation efforts. From the park, Rock Creek Trail spans over 20 miles south, all the way to the Smithsonian National Zoo in downtown Washington, D.C. "I biked all the way down when I was in high school, which was a lot of fun, until we realized we had to go back," Freese says.

Derwood Farmers Market on Saturdays

Locals gather and pick up fresh produce at Derwood Farmers Market on Saturdays between April and October at Neighborhood Church on Redland Road. The small market features local vegetable, fruit and flower farmers, bakers and artisans. Freese explains that Derwood has an active community page on Facebook where residents post about what's going on in the area. "We're having a church yard sale next Saturday, so we'll post that on there, and other things we do like Easter egg hunts and Trunk or Treat," Freese says. "There's little pockets of neighborhoods, and people do block parties and things like that."

For drivers, Route 370 runs through the neighborhood and connects to Route 270 into D.C. Redland has a CAP Index score of 2, indicating a lower risk of crime compared to the national average.
